Tayls Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Everyone is ill at the minute, whether it’s covid or not. Completely surrounded by it currently so know it’s going to get me soon. Daughter is on antibiotics and my 4 month old now has what appears to be conjunctivitis. Loads of other family seem to have colds/flu as well. Ughhhhhh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if science supports this, but it does feel that way - not sure how much having various coldlike viruses protects against the next iteration at all, might just be coincidence? Either way, we called my parents today to let them know we weren't going to come because we've got covid, they laughed; they'd just tested positive for it too. And my partner's family. We've all actually tested - in my team at work about half of them or their families have the symptoms but don't have access to the tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 InOctober Covid kicked my arse. Got over that then had a dreadful cold, one of the worst I have ever had. Still just a cold but really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen various reports with doctors warning this is going to be a much worse winter for illness because of lack of mixing over the last 2 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah read this. Something to do with our immune systems bring weakened due to not mixing and wearing masks. Is it coincidence I never had a second vaccination and rarely wore a mask (unless in emclosed space or asked) and I seem to be the only one in my family and social group who hasn't been ill.........yet. Kick in the vaccination conspiracy, it making everyone susceptible to other viruses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted December 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 24, 2022 For **** sake. Having a Covid vaccine will protect you from Covid. It will have zero effect on the chances of you catching anything else. That sort of shit talk drives me insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did you not bother having the second & third dose of the Covid vaccine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pal at work who does triathlons, super fit, never known him I'll, was nearly admitted to hospital with breathing problems, diagnosed by his doctor as heavy flu. To this day he said he has never experienced illness like it, that was March. I may have caught it off him at that time, flu I just couldn't get rid of for like 3-4 weeks. I agree withyou. My parents came back frim new york a month before covid was being taken seriously. They were terribly ill. They had all the symptoms of covid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s too early to tell if it’s a virus related, or the decision to knock back a few Stellas last night after a variety of wines throughout the day… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted December 29, 2022 Moderator Share Posted December 29, 2022 Well it finally got me, the word removed. Got a sore throat middle of Christmas and was in bed Boxing Day in a lot of pain across all my muscles and my head. Eased off a bit last two days but still coughing, dizzy, short of breath etc so finally did a test and it was the most confident positive I've ever seen. Annoyed at myself for not testing straight away as I've been in contact with people since getting ill. Previously I've been testing every time I get a cold. I guess that's what happens when they charge a tenner a pop for the tests. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
